[1376] A Locksmith Couldn’t Open This — Find Out Why

[mattt]

I'm literally sitting here in front of my computer stewing over a "simple" lock that has been giving me so much trouble for the past day. After watching this video, lifted the first pin up REALLY REALLY high and now it's suddenly a piece of cake. This is why I love this channel.

The scratches on the underside of the lock tell a tale of Nate‘s frustration…

[StumblrNoE]

He just picked the lock and explained why it's so hard, no judgement or shame for Nate. Always nice to see that kindness and understanding.

I love how the “gimmick” locks barely last 30 seconds, but this lock, with no obvious characteristics. At face value it’s just a normal lock. But it gave him more trouble than a ton of those “unpickable” ones. Love watching this man. Zero interest in locks. Top tier content.

I don’t pick locks, I just like to watch these videos. One thing I’ve always appreciated is that if you pick a lock that someone else couldn’t, you never seem to bash them or their skills. You just offer a matter of fact appraisal, and offer tips that may help. You have a nice instructional touch. Thanks for the channel.

One of these days, he’s gonna make a video answering a legal question and blow everybody’s minds in reminding them that he is, in fact, a lawyer as well.

The fact he even got the decoder out just to prove that the pins were set as high as possible to make sure Nate didn’t feel like he was just say that to be nice is really cool of him. LockPickingLegend is more like it.

The sign of an expert with nothing to prove is that they are not afraid to help others become experts. Knowledge is meant to be shared, and skills are meant to be taught.

Good lesson:
Even if you know a lot, running something by someone else can be very helpful because having a new set of eyes (or hands) can bring a new perspective to it. That hugh set pin one is something LPL only knows about because he's hit that snag before and learned the solution, and that solution can be taken and applied to other problems if they seem similar.


That or LPL is just an actual wizard.

[highdownmartin]

My casual impression here is that is the longest LPL has taken over any lock I’ve seen him pick, relative to the cost and complexity of the lock. Impressive.

[WldTangent]

I definitely wouldn't say LPL struggled, but that lock put up a valiant if inevitably unsuccessful fight even in his hands. If I were Nate I would probably feel a little bit better right now.

[TheBiomedZed]

Props to Nate for knowing his limits and asking for someone more experienced for some guidance on the matter. Every day is a school day.

[archeetos]

YouTube comment sections are usually a massive dumpster fire but with LPL the comment sections so wholesome. Look at everyone giving Nate so much love!

[profgamble]

"Good job guys, we slowed and confused him for a second!" -Abus HQ probably

[szymonsadlo]

Someone: This lock is hard to open
LPL: I'll open it twice and give you a tutorial on this under 4 minutes

[richardcoppin]

This took LPL 1m30s to open. That means the lock must be really difficult!

[odger]

I´m sure it´s been said before - security level of locks should be LPL/minute. Everything below 0.5 is to be considered "no lock at all".

[VoxFelis]

This felt like a long pick by LPL standards.
